You know those stories where the world is reduced to a post-apocalypse after a natural event? What if that's only what happens in the US, and the rest of the world recovers with ease due to extant rescue services?

If it wasn’t for the stupid Darrel Dixon show, my head canon of the walking dead only affecting America would still stand.

They literally just walk, and it would be pretty obvious that everyone is infected after the first year or so of people dying from the flu and shit. Any country with competent leadership could have squashed the zombies in a couple months.

I’ve always thought that if I’m in a zombie apocalypse im just gonna carry super soakers filled with hydrogen peroxide
